WVU Football Joins Battle of Major Programs for 2026 4-Star WR
In addition to adding to the 2025 class, the WVU football staff is also ending the summer by sending offers to 2026 recruits. And recently, West Virginia extended an offer to a four-star wide receiver from Virginia.
Davion Brown announced his offer from the Mountaineers on Friday, tagging WVU wide receivers coach Bilal Marshall in his post on X (formerly Twitter).
